I am not able to upload files in a standalone machine.
I would like to know how to upload files with PHP/HTML. Provide me a solution with example - I am new to PHP.

have you read the php manual ? (php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php)macjohn– macjohn2011-12-29 08:10:53 +00:00Commented Dec 29, 2011 at 8:10

File upload is depend on several things in your php configuration

etc..

crystal ball's a little hazy today...what error? unless you provide a lot more detail, we can't help
Here's an example with error checking:
the html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<span>Filename: </span>
<input type="file" name="file" />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
the php:
<?php
if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif") && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Error Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"];
echo "<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Uploaded File Name: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
echo "<br />";
echo "File Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"];
echo "<br />";
echo "File Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"])." bytes";
echo "<br />";
echo "Temp file name: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
echo "<br />";
if (file_exists("uploadDir/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo "A file with the name " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "uploadDir/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "The file was stored in: " . "uploadDir/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>
The first if limits the type of file (in this case to gif) and the file size (in this case to 20000 bytes or less).
The second if checks if there was an error during the file transfer.
The third if checks if a file with that name already exists before copying the temporary file to its final location (in this case in the uploadDir).

i tried about about still i am getting error saying that invalid file

If the code above gives "Invalid file" error then the file you tried to upload is either not a gif or the file is larger than 20000 bytes. To use other types of files or files larger than 20000 bytes the code in the first if (in php) needs to be adjusted.

Thanks it was working fine now i am able to upload gif file suppose if we want to upload any type of file how to do that and where i have to make changes in code.

Wikipedia gives a list of mime types here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… You can replace image/gif in the first if with whichever you need. Or if you don't wish to restrict the file type (not recommended) that part of the if can be removed.

If you give me more details about what you are uploading I can give more details!
